About

I am a PhD student at the University of Chicago and the Field Museum of Natural History studying birds. My interests include biogeography, evolutionary biology and conservation with a tropical emphasis.

Calls from a flock in submontane forest. These individuals were actively moving and foraging through the subcanopy, and became agitated just after this recording was made when an Accipiter erythropus came to inspect the flock.

A group calling in some adjacent pines. While the bird is not audible in the recording, the shuffling sounds are due to me turning around to get a better view of a Campephilus guatemalensis double tapping behind me.

Calling from low brush inside closed canopy montane cloud forest. Two young being fed by at least one adult. Unfortunately, some panting in the background from myself due to the scramble required to reach this site!

Odd song of a Yellow Longbill near Hormigas camp. While this bird was not seen, another bird was seen briefly giving a very similar song and seen extremely well by my colleague Jared Wolfe, who confirmed its ID. All Yellow Longbills in this area appeared to be giving this song.
